Oops, that's abook, not a redbook.

copy?

Dave,

While I do not use the same coding example as you point out, I think you
may be missing the word "return" after onclick=".  I adapted the coding
sample from the Understanding the IBM WebFacing Tool example.  The code in
the DDS is...

     A*%%WB 8 FLD <DIV style="position: absolute;"><A href=#
onclick="return sh+
     A*%%WB +owCalendar('l<%=zOrder%>_SCREENID$FIELDNAME', 'm/d/y');"> 
<IMG
src=+
     A*%%WB +"images/generated/CalendarButton.gif" width="23" height="23"
borde+
     A*%%WB +r="0"></A></DIV>

... and generates into the .jsp file as...

<TD NOWRAP colspan=10 rowspan=1><INPUT <% if (isProtected) { %> readonly
tabindex=-1 <% } %> id="l<%=zOrder%>_SCREENID$FIELDNAME" 
previousValue="<%=
SCREENID.getFieldValueWithTransform("FIELDNAME", QUOTED_TRANSFORM)%>"
class="wf_hi <%=isProtected?"wf_pr":""%> wf_ul wf_default wf_field"
VALUE="<%=SCREENID.getFieldValueWithTransform("WSSF1DAT",
QUOTED_TRANSFORM)%>" SIZE=10 MAXLENGTH=10  ><DIV style="position:
absolute;"><A href=# onclick="return showCalendar('l<%=zOrder%>_SCREENID$
FIELDNAME', 'm/d/y');"> <IMG src="images/generated/CalendarButton.gif"
width="23" height="23" border="0"></A></DIV></TD><% lastCol=46; %>

HTH

      Subject: [WEB400] WebFacing Drop-Down Box 
 

I used the example in the "Mastering the IBM WebFacing Tool" redbook to
create a drop-down, this is the snippet of code from the redbook:

<SPAN class="wf_blue wf_field" <%if (isProtected) {%> <% } else {
%>TITLE="Click to select
with Calendar" STYLE="cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;"
onClick="show_calendar('window.opener.document.SCREEN.l<%=zOrder%>_SCRN01$DOFMON',

'window.opener.document.SCREEN.l<%=zOrder%>_SCRN01$DOFDAY',
'window.opener.document.SCREEN.l<%=zOrder%>_SCRN01$DOFYR',
'window.opener.document.SCREEN.DepMon',
'window.opener.document.SCREEN.DepDay',
'window.opener.document.SCREEN.DepYea', 'N')"
ONMOUSEOVER="this.style.background='yellow';"
ONMOUSEOUT="this.style.background=document.body.currentStyle.backgroundColor;"

<%}%>>Date
of Delivery:</SPAN>

Everything works fine, the calendar pops up, and it passes the value back
to my main screen, however there is an error on the page once the date
gets passed back:
Line: 43
Char: 1
Error: 'undefined' is null or not an object.
Code: 0
URL: http://blah/WebFacing.do

Does the code for the drop down look okay?
